Description

DyStar Textilfarben GmbH & Co. Deutschland KG DYS 2004/D 501 Dr. Ku High-lightfastness inks for digital textile printing Digital printing techniques will become increasingly important in the future both in the textile segment and in the nontextile segment.

The altered market requirements in conventional textile printing call for more flexibility in design, color, and delivery time. One response to this development is digital inkjet technology. By making it possible to print directly from the computer via the printing nozzles onto the textiles without the need to prepare printing screens, this new technology is improving printing process flexibility, efficiency, and environmental compatibility. It allows substantially integrated operations, shortens printing times, and meets the demand for rapid reaction to market developments and for fewer intermediate stages in the manufacturing operation.

The inkjet process normally uses aqueous inks which are sprayed as small droplets directly onto the substrate. There is a division between a continuous flow process, in which ink droplets are generated without interruption and guided onto the substrate through an electrical field, as a function of the pattern to be printed, and an interrupted inkjet or drop-on-demand process, in which the ink is ejected only where a colored dot is to be placed. The latter process employs either a piezoelectric crystal or a heating element (bubblejet or thermal jet process) to exert pressure on the ink system and so to force out a drop of ink. Such procedures are described in Text. Chem. Color, Volume 19 (8), pages 23 ff and Volume 21 pages 27 ff. Other drop-on-demand processes include the "flatjet process", which is described for example in WO 99/46126, where piezoelectrically controlled vibration of a dye-filled needle forces ink droplets onto the substrate, and the "valvejet process" in which the inkjet and hence the pixel distribution is regulated via a valve, a process of this kind being described for example in US 4555719.

This highly sensitive microtechnology requires the development of tailor-made dye preparations (inks) which meet, for example, the exacting requirements in terms of purity, particle size, viscosity, surface tension, conductivity, physicochemical stability, thermophysical properties, pH, absence of foam and microfoam, color strength, fastness level, and storage stability. Commercially customary textile dyes in the form of their powder, granule or liquid formulations, as are used for conventional analog textile printing, contain significant amounts of electrolyte, deduster and standardizer, which lead to massive problems in inkjet printing. Moreover, dye inks, such as are used for nontextile materials, such as paper, wood, plastics, ceramic, etc., for example, give only unsatisfactory results in terms of application properties and also color yield and print fastnesses on textile material.

Inkjet inks based on disperse dyes have a number of performance deficiencies which relate to the dispersion stability of the inks and the fastnesses achieved in printing, especially the lightfastness of the resultant prints.

It was an object of the present invention, therefore, to provide printing inks which do not have the abovementioned disadvantages.

It has now surprisingly been found that inks based on isoindolenine dyes, such as are known from EP 684 289, provide outstanding results.

The present invention accordingly provides new aqueous printing inks for textile printing by the inkjet process, which comprise an isoindolenine dye of the formula (I) A--/\\ I

As further additions, the inks of the invention may include surface-active substances to set surface tensions of 20 to 65 mN/m, which are adapted where appropriate as a function of the process being used (thermal or piezo technology).

Examples of suitable surface-active substances include the following: ionic and nonionic surfactants.
For the purpose of enhancing the Iightfastness the inks may further comprise UV absorbers. Suitable examples include unsubstituted or substituted benzophenones, unsubstituted or substituted benzotriazoles, unsubstituted or substituted benzotriazines and also UV stabilizers based on sterically hindered amines (HALS type).

The inks may also include customary additions, such as substances for inhibiting fungal and bacterial growth, for example, and/or defoamers such as polyethersiloxane copolymers or organically modified polysiloxanes, for example.

The inks can be prepared in conventional manner by comminuting the corresponding dye in the presence of one or more dispersants and water in a milling apparatus. The other ink constituents may be added before, during or after the milling operation. Particularly suitable milling apparatus includes agitated ball mills in which beads are used with a diameter of 0.05 mm to 2.0 mm, preferably smaller than 1.0 mm. For the milling operation it is preferred to prepare a relatively concentrated ink paste which following the milling process is diluted further to give the end composition.
The ink obtained in this way can either be used directly or subjected to further purification (filtration, for example) or the milling process can be continued by further treatment in the milling apparatus.

The dye inks of the invention are useful in inkjet printing processes for printing a wide variety of untreated or pretreated polyester, polyamide, acetate, triacetate or polyurethane materials, especially polyester materials.
The printing inks of the invention are also suitable for printing the aforementioned fibers in blend fabrics, such as blends of cotton and polyester, for example.
The textile substrate is pretreated prior to printing with thickeners, which prevent the motifs running when the printing ink is applied; examples of such thickeners include sodium alginates, modified polyacrylates or highly etherified galactomannans; and/or with substances which increase the fixing yield.

These pretreatment reagents are applied uniformly to the textile substrate in a defined amount using suitable applicators, such as with a 2- or 3-roll padder, for example, with contactiess spray technologies, by means of foam application, or with appropriately adapted inkjet technologies, and then dried.

After the textile fiber material has been printed it can be dried at 80 to 150 C and/or subsequently fixed. The fixing of the inkjet prints prepared with disperse dyes takes place at elevated temperature, using saturated steam, using superheated steam, using hot air, using compressed steam, using microwaves, using infrared radiation, using laser or electron beams, or using other suitable energy transfer techniques.
Fixing may be followed by a print aftertreatment, which leads to an improvement in fastness properties and also to an immaculate white ground.

Particularly on synthetic fiber materials the prints prepared with the dye inks of the invention possess high color strength, good cold and hot lightfastness, very good wetfastness properties, such as fastness to washing, water, saltwater, weather fastness and perspiration fastness, and also good fastness to heat setting and pleating, and crock fastness.
The examples which follow serve to illustrate the invention. Parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise noted. The relationship between parts by weight and parts by volume is that of the kilogram to the liter.
General procedure:

Preparation of an ink paste (containing 25% of dye): 125 g of dye are combined together with X weight equivalents (1 weight equivalent corresponds to 125 g) of dispersant/dispersant mixture and 375-125X g of demineralized water and the mixture is milled in an agitated ball mill so that the mean particle size is <250 nm and the maximum particle size is smaller than 1 pm. It is possible for further additives such as biocides, defoamers, 5 etc. and also parts of the organic solvents used to be added even at the ink paste milling stage.

The other constituents of the ink (organic solvents, other additives, water) are added to the ink paste thus prepared (containing 25% of dye) and the 10 components are combined thoroughly by beating in a dissolver. Once they have been filtered through a standard commercial filter paper (Macherey-Nagel MN-614) the inks are ready for use.
